Lubricants - Tribology-ABC - Machine Lubrication
    The type of lubricant used has a significant impact on the lifetime performance and reliability of a machine. Optimal lubricant selection and management depends on understanding the lubrication regime (i.e., boundary, mixed or hydrodynamic lubrication), lubricant properties, established classifications, maintenance plans and an ability to interpret and apply the producer’s product specifications to the equipment

Lubrication Fundamentals
Boundary Lubrication, Lubrication and Lubricants, Hydrodynamic or Fluid Film Lubrication, Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubrication, Elastohydrodynamic (EHD) Lubrication
Gear Lubrication
When properly selected and applied, gear lubricants reduce friction and wear, help to prevent corrosion, reduce operating noise, improve heat transfer and facilitate removal of abrasive wear particles from the contact areas of the gear tooth surfaces
Lubrication - Grease
Grease is used for lubrication of contact surfaces where it is not practical or convenient to use oil.
hydraulic_fluids
Hydraulic fluids are required to provide lubrication of contact surfaces within system components, sealing of equipment with tight clearances and removal of heat generated within the system. It must also protect system components against rust, oxidation and corrosion.

* * * * * * Laser Calibration of Machine Tools * * * * * *

Laser Calibration
     Machine alignment and calibration starts with being level, flat, straight and square. Machine “earth” level is an important benchmark if you want to check yourself in the future without the need of a laser system. Straightness of travel, including the components pitch, yaw, & roll come before machine tool squareness. Laser calibration of positioning accuracy completes the picture with rotary axes laser calibrated as well.
Ballbar Calibration
    A Ballbar is one of the most powerful all-around tools for CNC evaluation and is the single best device for checking the contouring accuracy of machine tools. Ballbar tests show how two axes work together to move the machine in a circular path. In a perfect machine, two axes would make a perfect circle. The Ballbar test measures any deviation the machine makes from a perfect circle and displays the data in a polar plot format. By analyzing the data, errors such as backlash, servo-error, periodic error, scale mismatch and squareness can be determined
